The OKO-M will mount to any standard picatinny or weaver rail without any extra hardware.  The 4 MOA dot is well suited for use on rifles and carbines and can be used effectively out to 300 meters with practice.

The OKO-M was designed for use by the Czech Republik Special Forces.  It features pressure switch activation of the red dot, making battery life entirely a non-issue.  Simply squeeze the pressure pad when you want the dot on.  The OKO-M can be left on the shooter's preferred brightness setting for long periods without fear of running down the batteries.  This is perfect for Military and LE applications where the firearm must be used instantly without fumbling with dials and switches.  The OKO-M retains the ability to be set at constant on, via a switch on the front of the sight.  Brightness settings and fully off function as they do on all other OKO sights.

 

The OKO-M also features night vision compatibility.  To use the OKO-M in night vision mode the shooter turns the brightness to the "1" position and slides the IR filter in front of the emitter.

 

MSRP $370.00

We haven't had any problems with the OKOs being "fragile" at all.  The Czech Republik Military and police has been using the OKOs on their Vz58s, MP5s, and Skorpian Submachineguns for roughly 5 years now.

For users concerned with durability we offer several steel covers that go around the OKO.

As for the wire, it is only standard on the military version.  The OKO-W models do not have it.  I've been using the OKO-M on one of my rifles for 6 months now and have not encountered any problems regarding the wire.  

I ran the wire to the grip on my rifle so that I can fire it with one hand if neccessary and still use the dot.  I leave the OKO on the most common brightness setting I use, and have instant access to it by squeezing the pressure switch rather than spinning the dial.

The speed advantage of the pressure switch system gives the OKO-M a great advantage over other red dot sights for Personal Protection in the Home, or for LE patrol car use.  Worries about running down the battery are now a non issue, since it is only being used momentarily and the battery life is 150 (highest setting) to 1500 (lowest setting) hours.

I the OKO for everyone?  Probably not, personal preference plays a large part in all of our decisions as to what we equip our rifles with.  I do believe the OKO is just as good a sight as the Aimpoint or EOtech, though all 3 sights have specific advantages over each other.

The OKO sits inside of the SC4.  The feet are removed, and the OKO placed in the SC4 base, then the screws that would normally attach the feet to the OKO, are run into the mount to secure the OKO to it.

The SC4 has a metal QD base that will attach to any weaver/picatinny rail.  I prefer using the SC4 simply because I like the cowitness to be in the lower third of the lens, rather than absolute cowitness.

CR2032 watch batteries that are readily available and cheap.

Battery life is 150 hours on the highest setting, 1500 hours on the lowest setting when left constantly on.



Brownells told us they plan on picking up the SC4...when they do that is up to them.  They can special order any of our products for aynone though.




MSRP on the OKO is $220
MSRP on the military OKO is $370.00

We do not do retail sales, I am sure that some of our dealers will sell them for less than MSRP (most do), and some may even offer package deals with a scope cover.

The battery life is the same as the standard OKOs.  The OKO-M is the only battery powered red dot that has a pressure switch currently, effectively making battery life a non-issue.
